What part of PA, I grew up in Levittown, north of Philly.
Add your location to your profile. It will help other members answer your questions. Beekeeping is different in every location.
Welcome.

Welcome to the forum.   :cheer:

Have you been able to locate a local beekeeping club? Some clubs have classes for beginners and mentors willing to guide you with the caring for your bees.  -Mike

Hello and Welcome!

Getting involved in a local club is often a great way to find mentors and get connected to nearby beekeepers:
